Abstract
Education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ futures, and understanding what affects their academic performance is important. This study aimed to investigate the current state of students’ academic engagement at Yunnan Business Vocational College and explore the influence of psychological needs and social environment on students’ academic engagement.
A quantitative research design was employed. A questionnaires survey was conducted resulting in 155 valid responses collected through the stratified random sampling to ensure a balanced representation of different academic programs and years. The findings reveal that:1) Many students face challenges in their academic engagement at Yunnan Business Vocational College, especially when dealing with complex learning environments and pressures. Many of them feel anxious or lack confidence, which makes it difficult for them to actively participate in their studies. At the same time, the current psychological health support environment and social environment in the university also affect students’ psychological needs to varying degrees; 2) Higher levels of psychological needs positively impact students’ academic engagement with school management. Additionally, a supportive social environment significantly enhances students’ academic engagement during the study process. The social environment, which includes relationships with peers and teachers, also significantly impacts students’ learning experiences. Overall, this study highlights that fostering a supportive social environment and addressing students’ psychological needs are crucial for improving their score and academic engagement.
